Down your street, your crying is a well-known sound,
Your street is very well known throughout your town,
Your town is very famous for the little girl,
Whose crying can be heard all around the world.

We have a remedy you'll appreciate,
No need to feel so bad, he's only late,
We'll bring you flowers and things, help pass your time,
We'll give him eagle's wings, then he can fly to you.

Little girl, why don't you stop your crying?
I'm gonna make you feel alright.
My name is Ivor,
I'm an engine driver,
I know him well,
I know why you feel blue,
Just cause he's late,
Don't mean he'll never get through,
He told me he loves you,
He ain't no liar, I ain't either,
So let's have a smile for an old engine driver,

Please take a sweet (take a sweet),
Come take a walk with me (walk with me),
We'll sort it out (sort it out),
Back at my place, maybe (back at my place, maybe).
I'll come right,
You aint no fool, I ain't either,
So why not be nice to an old engine driver?
Better be nice to an old engine driver,
Better be nice to an old engine driver.
We'll soon be home,
We'll soon be home,
We'll soon,
We'll soon, soon, soon be home,

We'll soon be home, (oh yeah),
We'll soon,
We'll soon, soon, soon be home.
Soon be home,
Soon be home.

I can't believe it,
Do my eyes deceive me?
Am I back in your arms?
Away from all harm?
It's like a dream to be with you again,
Can't believe that I'm with you again,
Pow pow, pow pow pow pow, pow pow,
I missed you and I must admit,
I kissed a few and once did sit,
On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap,
And later with him, had a nap.

Come on baby,
Now that you lie,
No, you're forgiven,
Don't let you be with mine,
Baby,
You are forgiven,
You are forgiven,
You are forgiven,
We're all forgiven,
You're all forgiven.
